What Did You Do Today?



Did any of you climb the Empire State Building today?  I did.  In the rain.  Well not really but kind of.  A punishing task of 16 and a half sets of stairs was accomplished today at Mt. Tabor.  Being the Expert you have to stay in tip top shape, cause everyone I mean everyone is gunning for ya.  It's like the Hatfields and the McHoys.  If I don't one of you little bastards might want to stick a knife in my leg, and if you did it would break once it hit the steel belts.  Some fun facts about the Empire State Building:  King Kong once climbed to the top of the building using no ropes.  The 1573 stairs were climbed in a record 9 minutes in 2003.  And a scale model of the building was built with legos using 12,000 bricks and over seven feet tall, it took 2 six year olds over 250 hours to finish.  And some facts about Tabor: It's 653 feet in elevation, that's about half the size of the Empire State Building.  Mt. Tabor is only one of three extinct volcanos in the country within city limits.  Bend Oregon being another and Jackson Mississippi the third.  So there you have it, next time you sit down with a rack of oreo's remember this story.
